hey all, so Im starting to get up again and walk to the bathroom. Yae me!

But, Standing up my heart rate gets to 160. Just standing. Once i sit back down on the toilet it goes down to 130 and usually hovers around 115-125 or even 110 as normal.

Why is this? I think the TPN and fluids are diluting my Hemoglobin because it was 11.7 now its 10.3.
Im sure it dropped again for some reason. I feel kinda weakened in my breathing.

I wish my heart rate though wasn't so high just to stand though. It's Odd.

Any tips? Breathing techniques? Ways to bring it down?

I don't know how to bring it back down, but I do know when i was in the hospital and could only get out of bed to walk the 5 steps to the bathroom, the nurses would always rush into my room ( i was on tele) because my heart rate would go up to 160(and they throught something was wrong) but they always just told me its because my body wasn't used to moving or exerurting (sp? sorry) its self, so as soon as i was up to it they just had me slowly start going for little walks (which was a total pain cause i had the iv pole for the lipids and the tpn & the tele & another one for everything else) it took awhile but by the time i could go home i was allowed to walk outta the hospital and not be wheeled. i know this isnt really advice but its the only thing i can say is that for me it slowly started regulating itself with the walking i did little by little.

should i start out just by standing up next to my recliner for a bit of time? Or u think 4-6 times to the bathroom is enough walking throughout the day? is 160 dangerous? Not really, but for how long? Im anemic to.

My husband had the same thing happen to him. Laying down his heart rate hovered around 100, sitting up around 120, and moving between 140 and 160. The docs recommend that you move around a little bit more each day to get your heart used to the exertion again. At least that's what my husband's docs recommended. If you feel up to it, get up and move around. Sit up more instead of lying down, walk a little bit more every day. This was the advice they gave my husband.

Debilitated have you spoken to your doctor about this? I really think you should ask him these questions. I am not sure we are the folks to ask what your heartrate should be or what kind of activities you are allowed to do. I don't want you to be hurt by someone who isn't a professional telling you to do this or that. Hope you get feeling better soon.

When I had my worst flare ever, my resting/sleeping heart rate was about 160 and it would go up to 200 when I tried to do anything (and I was 21 at the time).  My GI sent me to a cardiologist who did tests and saw that everything was working properly, it was just a really high heart rate.  They thought stress might be doing it. It ended up going down as I got over the flare up.  I still have (and have always had) a fast heart rate, but it is now down to about 90 resting.  I think the flare up has something to do with it, but you may want to see a cardiologist and have him make sure that everything is ok.

Nanners. Heres what My cardio Said. Remember I was in the hospital for 8 days.

Maybe you guys can advice me based on this info:

I had a 3 week Heart moniter on.
He said Everything he saw was Tacchy and some normal resting heart rates but ALL normal Heart sinus rythems.
I told him about my HIGH heart rates but he believes as the TPN helps me gain weight it should slowly go down?
He said I should move around a little i guess.

Yes, Too make a long story short? THE SVT's are being controlled by cardizem and the doc's are aware.


Ok, So DO I have to move around? Or do I just need to get my Heart rate HIGH and get my heart rate used to it.?
I mean i can sit up for awile. GEt it up by stretching? Is the key just getting the heart rate used to moving Fast?

Thanks!

Your HGB has dropped 1.4 points - what does your Dr say about that? Are you bleeding?
Posted 5/19/2010 7:34 PM (GMT 0)
No bleeding at all.. My urine IS VERY PALE yellow. Im pretty hydrated. I think my Hemoglobin is being diluted. My home Care nurse Agrees. I just bought liquid iron by Notrol. Another $25.00 for 2 bottles YAE!!!
I hate spending so much $$ on my health. Its so annoying.

Yes, Dehydration = higher Hemoglobin.
Hydration = brings it down on data(paperwork)

I know you know the answer to this...What did your doctor say? To remind you and quote you he said something to the extent of "I should move around a little." So I would say talking with your doc is a good idea if you have any questions about what that means.
